Police Report 4 Charges Against Lawyer Tum and His Wife, Accused Denies Them.

Bangkok: Police have charged "Lawyer Tum" and his wife with four serious offenses, including fraud and violations of the Money Laundering Act. Both individuals have denied all charges, and authorities are preparing to detain them without bail tomorrow. According to Thai News Agency, at 3:00 PM, Crime Suppression Police brought Mr. Sittra Biabangkerd, known as Lawyer Tum, and his wife to the Crime Suppression Division. Pol. Maj. Gen. Suwat Saengnum, Deputy Commander of the Central Investigation Bureau, along with investigators from Division 3, informed the couple of the charges against them. The charges include fraud and three violations under the Money Laundering Act. Separate interrogations were conducted immediately after informing them of these charges. After about an hour of questioning, Pol. Lt. Col. Suwat communicated via phone to the media that both 'Lawyer Tum' and his wife have denied all the charges. The investigators plan to object to bail since the arrest warrant indicates sufficient evidence su ggesting the couple may have committed offenses punishable by more than three years of imprisonment. The authorities also suspect that they might interfere with the evidence or cause other dangers. At 3:20 PM, the 3rd Division Police delivered assets seized from 'Lawyer Tum's' luxury home in the Taling Chan area to the investigators. These assets include brand-name bags and jewelry. The police had used a court warrant to search the residence the previous afternoon. The investigators are examining whether these assets were acquired through the reported offenses. It has been reported that the investigators plan to take both individuals to the Ratchada Criminal Court for detention tomorrow, though the exact time for this action remains unspecified, whether it will occur in the morning or afternoon.
